No Parade? No Problem: Where To Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

This year we will once again miss out on the larger St. Patrick's Day celebrations we know and love. But there are still plenty of smaller celebrations to mark the holiday.

It is hard to believe the pandemic is affecting St. Patrick's Day festivities for the second straight year as some of our big events like the parade in Albany will not be happening. The good news is there will be more going on this year versus last year, and we have a rundown of some fun, low-key things happening for you to go out and check out, or take in from the comfort of your home!
